Helpful Resources for Week 11

I forgot to mention last week that you’ll need a Google account for this week’s exercise. If you don’t have one that you want to use, please create another one for use in our class. We will use this to create a Google Doc for the Instruction Manual deliverable.

Also, it would be helpful if you bring your phone if it has a built-in camera. Most folks probably already have one, but it’s worth mentioning so that we can use it during class. Even if you don’t have one or yours is broken, I imagine that we can enlist your classmates to share theirs for the photograph part of the in-class exercise that leads into this week’s deliverable.

Week 11

Considering this week’s deliverable, I wanted to share with you an “emergency LEGO kit” that I designed to easily fit into your pocket. This particular set includes a Gunstar fighter, a Ko-Dan fighter, and two asteroids from the film The Last Starfighter.

For this week’s class:

  • Weekly Reading Report Exercise
  • Perform Peer Review on last week’s deliverable
  • Save readings discussion for next week
  • Introduce this week’s deliverable and complete in-class exercises
  • Review syllabus about next week’s readings and work
  • Next week: user testing reports!
